Check out the forefront of R35 tuning!
PHOENIX’s POWER, one of Japan’s most promising stores, is a core member of CLUB RH9, a group of technical stores with the largest concentration of tuning specialists in Japan, and had a large booth at the Osaka Auto Messe 2024 held in February 2024.
The latest 2024 model starts with a boost-up
PHOENIX’s POWER is involved in orthodox tuning regardless of car type, but the one they are vigorously developing is the Nissan GT-R, known as the R35 model, and for 2024 they had two cars on display.
The white car is the only new face 2024 model, the Track Edition Engineered by Nismo, on display at this year’s Osaka Auto Messe. The PHOENIX’s POWER original carbon front lip and side steps were shown for the first time. The simple yet aerodynamic design is an excellent product that not only looks good but also improves performance. The front lip also features an extension to increase the flow of air. The key point is that when fitted, the driving wind no longer blows against the tires, reducing aerodynamic drag and turbulence.
The engine itself was not modified, but replaced with an RH9 original muffler, and cooling performance was improved with a TRUST oil cooler and intercooler. The R35’s potential has been successfully brought out.
“There are still very few shops that are promoting tuning for the 2024 model year. Our shop has been involved with the R35 for many years, so we will begin full tuning of the new model to over 1000 hp by autumn to find out how much potential the new model has. With a proven displacement increase to 4.1 liters and TRUST’s mid-size turbine combination, we hope to have a shakedown by autumn.”
And representative Koji Yokoyama.
The suspension has already been fitted with Aragosta’s acclaimed TYPE-SS coilover kit and Endless’s MONO block caliper kit. The plan is to test with the current specifications first, and then step up to the next level.
Works machine No. 1 sets the fastest laps at Tsukuba and Suzuka
The other black R35 is a time attack spec car that the company calls Works Car No. 1, which has set the fastest lap in the Nissan GT-R tuning car time attack with radial tires at the Fuji Speedway and Tsukuba Circuit, two of the most famous circuits in Japan.
The power-oriented engine, which uses an HKS 4.3L displacement upgrade kit, is currently rated at around 1176 hp/147.5 kg-m for total balance, but it is a genuine monster machine that has recorded 1280 hp in the past.
When visitors saw these figures, some said, “1176ps! It’s like a game world already!
However, it is also true that the burden on not only the engine but also the auxiliary equipment and the drive system increases. While many tuners have been in tears in recent time attack events due to problems, PHOENIX’s POWER has recorded good times without any major problems. This shows that PHOENIX’s POWER is a shop with a high level of competence.
